Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of .............What gobsmacks, bamboozles and confuses you. What gobsmacks confuses, and bamboozles me today is that I had to re-judge my last contest because even though I finalized it, for some weird reason it came back as incomplete after being finalized and all of my poems and comments were thrown off the Poetry Soup site today, so I had to put them all back on too. If you are surprised that you did not place the same as you thought on the last contest, it is because I do not WRITE down what I did when I judged it the first time. After I finalized it, I had no idea I would have to re-judge the entire round. If any apologies need to be made, please speak to a computer glitch that seemed to have wiped everything out today. Anyway, all of my stuff and some other people's from what I have heard. Any form is acceptable.
